[**America’s NATO Partners Anticipate U.S. LNG Supplies To Europe**](https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen/2024/07/09/americas-nato-partners-anticipate-us-lng-supplies-to-europe/)

> **America’s abundant energy resources pair perfectly with Europe’s scarcity of oil and gas to create a win-win partnership, enabling Europe to avoid total energy dependence** **on** authoritarian s**uppliers in Russia and the Middle East.**
> 
> The summit, which will run from Tuesday to Thursday, is largely expected to focus on reassuring Ukraine of the alliance’s unwavering support
> 
> The pause ended in early July after 16 states [successfully sued](https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/energy-environment/2024/07/02/492563/federal-judge-stays-biden-administrations-freeze-on-lng-export-permits/) the Biden administration, arguing that the export restrictions were unconstitutional
> 
> **Coincidentally,** energy giant Shell [signed a 10-year agreement to sell U.S. LNG](https://group.met.com/en/media/press-releases/met-group-secures-long-term-us-lng-source-from-shell) to the Swiss-based energy company MET Group. The agreement will “help to ensure security of supply for its customers across Europe, ranging from its own gas-fired power plant demand to energy-intensive industrial companies, SMEs, and households,” MET announced.

**When you think about Northstream being destroyed and the US becoming the major LNG supplier to Europe- you understand motive.**

- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
- President Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea
